Gabriel Jesus: It's awesome to be back

Gabriel Jesus says he is pleased with his physical condition after making his comeback from injury in the 0-0 draw with Manchester United.

The Brazilian striker, 20, spent two months on the sidelines having suffered a fractured metatarsal in the win over Bournemouth in February.

It was originally feared he could miss the remainder of the season but he recovered quicker than expected, returning to training earlier this month before making a 10-minute cameo in Thursday’s Manchester derby.

Afterwards, he told ManCity.com he feels good after his first game back and says he is ready to face Middlesbrough on Sunday.

“Good, good. I am feeling very well,” he said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to win this game, but it’s awesome to be back and be able to play.”
